Interesting to read about the big flight last night, as there was seemingly little sign of it on the deck this morning - although a few birds were moving through still as I started out this morning. I managed to scrape up about 60 or so identified warblers at 3 different locations totaling 12 species. Most were singles of each species and the rest were Common Yellowthroats. After what was I felt a fairly poor showing all in all I found by far and away the best bird of the day on my way back home with a brief stop at Allen's Meadows. Over in the back of the almost dried out pond behind the Dept. of Public Works fenced off area was a Yellow-breasted Chat. I actually managed to see the bird three or four times? as it sat in what I believe is some kind of dogwood - a low shrubby one with multicolored berries that are somewhat similar to Porcelain Berry fruits. There is a tire in the mud in the area roughly where the bird was seen. I think that is species 155 for Allen's and is somewhat overdue considering the many rarities that have shown up in the park over the last couple of years. With the Chat were about 20 Gray Catbirds, a half dozen Yellowthroats of various ages and sexes and female BT Blue.

Easiest access to the area was to walk the dried banks of the pond not the ill defined path that used to lead back there). ? ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together.
